Cleaning chrome wheels?

[wuggzwest]

Hello all, what do you guys use to clean your chrome wheels and how do you do it? I find it so difficult to clean my wheels. I use the Honda spray but it takes forever. Im in the process of buying front and rear stands right now so hopefully that will help. Let me know what you guys use and how you do it? Thanks.

I wipe mine down after every ride with a microfiber cloth and plain water.
Give them a couple of coats of Meguiars NXT Wax twice a year and they will last a long time.
I have front and rear stands.
Almost have to for this method.

I put on front and rear stands and use Windex and terry cloth rag. Easy to apply and wipe off and makes the chrome shine.

Stands will help a lot, for me it's quick and easy after each ride they are wiped down & polished/waxed along with the rest of the bike.

Mothers chrome polish is the heat also. For everyday cleasing any quick detailer will do the trick

Honda or Next Dimension spray cleaner & polish works great. Thats all I use and they still look the same as when I got them.

Busanas, I use the Honda spray and I love it.

I took the PLEDGE even on my chrome and it works awesome. although before I did that I used Mequiars and then I used some industrial strength compound. I have tried a lot of things because I like my wheels shinny. And the stands are a definate plus if only I could put the bike on the stands by myself that would be great. I like the Pledge so far the best though.

Roll the bike up onto it and you can spin the wheel without the bike moving.

I like the concept of this so I made one. I found that it works great only if the bike is straight up and not on the side stand. If its on the side stand the tire wants to walk or push to one side when you rotate the tire.I wasnt sure if it was just mine or if that happens with others. So if I use it, I will put it under the front tire and put the rear on the stand.
Like everyone stated stands are a Bonus. Simple green works good and a good wax. After you have a good waxing, a good detail wax helps get a quick shine.
